Chiyo Shimazu picked up a pot of untapped wine and poured it over the little girl's face. The stimulation of the cold wine www.biquge.info the pen and the fun pavilion made the little girl wake up at once, and she sat up and looked around in a daze, as if she did not know where she was.

With a "snap", Shimazu Chiyo slapped her lightly, "Look over here, look at my eyes." Who sent you? Tell me that you can go, or you'll end up like three corpses on the ground." ”

The little girl looked in the direction Shimazu Chiyo pointed and screamed in fright when she saw the three bloody corpses. Shimazu Chiyo frowned, his face a little impatient, and reached out to grasp the hilt of the knife.

Gu Hengbo saw that it was not good, and quickly shook the little girl, "Xiaohong, what's going on, you hurry up and say it?" If you don't say it, you're not the only one who suffers. ”

The girl called Xiaohong seemed to be frightened, or she didn't want to say anything, no matter how Gu Hengbo shook, she didn't say anything.

Xia Nan said coldly: "It's okay if you don't say it, I'll burn down the Meilou with people and the house with a fire, and you will sink into the Qinhuai River with this secret!" ”

Gu Hengbo was taken aback, Meilou was her hard work, and all her savings and hopes for the rest of her life were condensed in this building. And I'm only in my twenties, which is the age of luxe, so I don't want to die in such a daze. She grabbed Xiaohong's arm and begged, "Mom usually treats you well, right?" When you were sold in at the age of twelve, you were just a yellow-haired girl who didn't know anything, and your mother taught you how to read, play the piano, and sing music; You don't want to be combed by your benefactor, and your mother has never forced you. Today, Meilou got into trouble because of you, and you can't bear to watch your mother and Meilou fall into a catastrophe? ”

Xiaohong heard the emotional card played by Gu Hengbo, and thought of all the care she had received after entering the industry, her eyes suddenly turned red, and tears fell down, but her lips were still tightly closed.

Seeing that Xiaohong still refused to speak, Shimazu Chiyo raised the knife on Gu Hengbo's neck, and the cold blade made Gu Hengbo tremble with fright.

"If you don't say it, I'll kill this woman and let her die in front of you!"

Xiaohong finally spoke, reached out to grab the knife, and exclaimed, "Let go of her, it has nothing to do with her, it's all my fault." ”

Shimazu Chiyo kicked her away with a gentle kick, and the blade pressed down, cutting the skin of Gu Hengbo's neck, and the dazzling blood flowed down her white neck, slid over her collarbone, and stained the placket on her chest. Gu Hengbo thought he was going to die, and he sobbed in fright.

After Xiaohong fell to the ground, she got up again, ignoring the sharp blade in front of her, hugged Gu Hengbo and cried: "You don't kill her, it's all my fault, I said, I said it all......"

Hearing that she was willing to speak, Shimazu Chiyo put away the knife slightly.

Xiaohong cried and said: "At noon today, a few people brought my father to me, saying that my father owed 800 taels of silver for gambling debts, and asked my father and daughter to pay it back, how could I get it......"

In the midst of the crying, the truth of the matter emerged. It turned out that Xiaohong's father was a bad gambler, and when Xiaohong was twelve years old, he sold his daughter into Meilou because he had no money to repay his debts, and from time to time he came to his daughter to ask for some loose silver. Xiaohong has nothing to do with this father, and can only agree to his requests every time. At noon today, a few people with unkind faces came to her father again, saying that they owed a debt of 800 taels of silver in the gambling house, and asked her to take it out immediately, otherwise her father would be tied to a stone in a sack and sunk into the river.

After all, they are connected by blood, no matter how much Xiaohong hates this uncompetitive father, she can't watch him being sunk in front of her, but eight hundred taels of silver is tantamount to an astronomical amount for a Qinglou woman who has not been in the industry for a long time, and she can't take it out anyway. Just when the father and daughter were panicking, the other party put forward a condition: help them kill an enemy at the banquet in Meilou tonight, and they will clean up the aftermath after success, and promise to send the father and daughter out of Nanjing City overnight, and the gambling debts will also be written off.

Xia Nan was not interested in the ins and outs, and asked, "Who sent these people?" ”

Xiaohong thought for a moment and said uncertainly: "It seems that they mentioned 'Changfu' when they spoke themselves......"

"Changfu"? Xia Nan and Xu Hongji glanced at each other, it turned out to be him. In the entire city of Nanjing, surnamed Chang and dared to make a move against a prince and an earl, and had the strength to plan such an assassination operation, except for the eunuch Chang Kun, he did not think about it as a second person.

Xu Hongji slapped his thigh and shouted: "I should have thought that it was this old horseman, and even I dared to move." ”

Xia Nan didn't talk nonsense, and ordered Shimazu Chiyo: "Send someone to the barracks to inform Yang Yuji, transfer the Guards Battalion, and go to Changfu with me." ”

After Shimazu Chiyo received the order, Xia Nan asked Xu Hongji again: "Wei Guogong, I heard his subordinate Huang Mengjia say that the people from the capital Jinyi Wei went to Nanjing with him to arrest Chang Kun, and I don't know why they didn't lock it into Beijing immediately." Why is Chang Kun still able to act freely and plan such an assassination now? ”

Xu Hongji shook his head: "I can't figure out the number of Jinyiwei's roads. However, the eunuch is the slave of the Son of Heaven, and the Jinyi Guard is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and there may be some incense between the two families. It is unlikely that Jinyiwei will let Chang Kun go, but it is not impossible to delay the arrest for a few days. ”

"It doesn't matter what path he has, if he does this abnormally, he must pay the price." Xia Nan gritted his teeth and said, "I also ask Wei Guogong to send people to strictly guard the city gate to prevent this dead eunuch from escaping while the chaos is in chaos." ”

Xu Hongji thought to himself, a guilty eunuch, even if he escapes, where can he escape? However, today Chang Kun also offended himself, and it is natural to lay a net just in case. He nodded and said, "I'll leave this matter to my brother." But don't be impulsive, Chang Kun is a eunuch sent by the Son of Heaven after all, and the Son of Heaven himself is the one who wants to punish the crime, you don't want to be impulsive and self-defeating. ”

Xia Nan hummed noncommittally, turned around and walked out of the room, and the Japanese samurai of the sword drawing team also followed behind.

Seeing that this group of fierce and vicious would-be robbers was gone, everyone except Xu Hongji breathed a sigh of relief, and Hou Fangyu collapsed to the ground. After Zhang Pu came back to his senses, he looked at Xia Nan's back, thinking that this Ping Nanbo was actually so powerful, not only gave orders to the dignified Wei Guogong, but also ignored the eunuchs who guarded the town, and even the widows could be driven like slaves, and his heart moved, and a thought began to breed uncontrollably: This son is definitely not a thing in the pool, and he may be able to use it as a political cooperation or even a refuge object in the future.

Gu Hengbo looked at the messy private room, and then looked at Xiaohong, who only knew how to hide her face and cry, sadness came from it, and she sobbed in a low voice.

Xu Hongji also walked out with the pro-army, and when he passed by Gu Hengbo's side, he thought that this matter had something to do with the girl under her, and he wanted to reprimand, but after thinking about it, this was definitely not what she wanted, and he was also a poor person to say, so he sighed, shook his head and walked out of the door.
